when i first started watching this movie I thought, ughh just another low budget drama film with a bunch of nobody actors. However, it turned out to be a surprisingly great movie... I was seamlessly entertained at the beginning, but gradually began to understand the meaning of the film. It's definitely not a classic, but something that everyone should see at some point in their life. I think it shows a good point in life. I also think that the casting was perfect for this type of film. If there were big name actors/actress' in this movie I don't think I would have liked it as much. It kind of struck me as an independent film. The acting was a little shaky but it has a great plot. Try to catch this movie on HBO late at night, I guarantee you will be glad you saw it.
